If one looks at games such as Marathon, one will notice that the Halo storyline was, in a way, a copy of that (from what I know, for I haven't played Marathon). Actually, Halo's story really is a clone of Marathon's, just dumbed down a fair bit.
Halo was a 'killer app' because MS bought it, stuck it on their new Xbox, and shoved it in people's faces. Yes, Halo as Bungie imagined it would have been awesome... as an RTS, if I remember correctly. Bungie will come up with something awesome. It will be almost as big as Halo. And bigger than anything else until something actually beats Halo. But nothing will ever beat Marathon.
